Teacher Open House at The Journey Museum

I attended the Teacher’s Open House at The Journey Museum with Mrs. Tautkus this evening. We were treated to hors d'eouvres and a gift bag which included a jump drive (can always use another one of those- woo hoo). We also got to check out the new portable planetarium and explore the museum exhibits. We both agreed that we need to get a Teacher Subscription and discussed taking our students to The Journey Museum for a field trip. There is so much to see and do. For more information, check out their website at: http://www.journeymuseum.org/.

An unexpected plus of tonight was running into old acquaintances. One such person was Dr. Alsup, a former professor of mine from Black Hills State University. I have to admit that I never cared much for mathematics… that was until class with Dr. Alsup. He helped me understand the importance, the beauty, and the intrigue of the subject matter. I felt valued as a student and left his class more prepared, energized, and enthused to teach math to others. Thank you Dr. Alsup!
